"Bangs just gets better and better"

When we last tuned in to the continuing adventures of "the matchmaker from hell" - Sparkle Stardust, she was at the WooWoo Inn and up to old tricks or arranging romances, then between Thrain Davis and Cindy Harper, the proprietress of the eccentric Inn. This time she is back to pestering the Mackenzies. Now running a candy store - well, sex and chocolate do go so well together - Sparkle had targeted Eric McNair. She knows secrets about McNair - one that he is really Eric Mackenzie, he loves chocolate, is one of three "brothers" who run the Castle of Dark Dreams, and the brothers are not really brothers. She also knows Eric is a vampire. But then vamps have such a special spot in Sparkle's heart - and libido.

Castle of Dark Dreams is a yummy new attraction in Live the Fantasy - sort of a romance Fantasy Island, just minus Tattoo! Live the Fantasy is a theme part, but this ain't no Six Flags Over Texas. This theme part is where women who dare, who want to do more than just read about fantasies can experience them. They can take "role-playing" to a whole new level! Castle dark is run by Eric and his two "brothers" Connall and Brynn.

Hot on their trail is talk-show host Donna Nolan. She heard whispers about Castle of Dark Dreams and smells a great scoop, just the sort of sexy, titillating story that will up the ratings and satisfy the always hungry listener of her show. But when she faces the mysterious, sensual, drop- dead (literally...lol) Eric and looks into those cold blue eyes, her job is the last thing on her mind!

Sparkle has decided Eric is too lonely for a man who should have "too tempting to touch tattooed across his chest", and is more than willing to lend her talents to see this situation changed. When she tells Eric, "think of me as your very own fairy godmother", the Mackenzie vamp should give up the fight because Sparkle knows best!

Wicked Nights, obviously is the first of the "brothers" of Castle of Dark Dreams tales, following Sparkle and Ganymede through their cosmic mischief making. Dorchester re- released Master of the Night, and just out Night Bites (March 2005) as ones you will not want to miss in the series...Bangs, is sharp and just gets sharper. The "biting" humour, the sexy, steaming tales are addictive, leaving us breathless and eager for more Night tales!!!!!!!! Please note while Master of the Night and Night Bites are Dorchester's Love Spell, new Night Tales will come from Berkley with the start of Wicked Nights, and is a move into Trade Size books.

In a market with vamps around every corner, Bangs gives you more "bang for the buck" in this racy, sexy, sizzling hot tale.

Read an Excerpt

USA Today bestselling author Nina Bangs now delivers the first book in a new trilogy of three extraordinary men who promise fulfillment for the women bold enough to accept their sensual challenges.

Summary

Welcome to the Castle of Dark Dreams. It's the yummiest attraction in Live the Fantasy, an adult theme park where women who dare can take sexy role-playing to new erotic heights. Just by looking at the castle you know that only dangerously tempting men would play here. Three brothers—Eric, Brynn, and Conall McNair—run the castle. Okay, so they're not quite human, but that's a secret. This night Eric, the castle's resident vampire, will prove that he's everything bad should be.

Talk-show host Donna Nolan is on the trail of the weird and wacky in the Castle of Dark Dreams. But thoughts of a juicy interview to enthrall her listeners disappear when she meets Eric. With the coldest blue eyes and the hottest mouth she's ever seen, he's a primitive call to the wild in every woman.

Love between a talk-show host and a vampire shouldn't be possible, but then, strange things happen in the Castle of Dark Dreams.
